Owing to the increase in supply and
light demand, the butter market has taken
quite tumble. Eggs are very quiet, and
have also slightly fallen, owing to warmer
weather. Good poultry is scarce with
prices the same. The demand for apples
has improved.
The demand for green stuff has become
better and sales will be larger as prices
settle lower. Good stock is sold
mp pretty close to the supply, but
ordinary stuff hangs on and is slow selling.
The prices quoted below are wholesale fig
ures and all green stuff Is home raised, eX-
cept radishes, cucumbers, cabbage and
new potatoes The quotations are changed
on Tuesdays and Fridays. but the market
is liable to fluctuations between those
